A sports car worth £400,000 has been seized by
police in east London after the driver's policy was found not to cover him to
get behind the wheel. The Lamborghini Aventador was stopped
in Newham because its front number plate was missing, causing police to carry
out further checks.
It was one of 180 vehicles seized on
Tuesday as part of Operation Cubo. The police activity was part of a day of
action to crack down on uninsured vehicles.
Since the launch of Operation Cubo in
October last year, more than 11,500 vehicles have been seized during 22 one-day
operations.
Ch Supt Sultan Taylor, of Safer Transport Command (STC),
said: "The STC works to keep the travelling public safe and part of our
duty includes carrying out operations such as Cubo which help to keep uninsured
and dangerous drivers off London's roads."
